In-transit (IT) metastases refer to cutaneous or subcutaneous melanoma spread or recurrence, more than 2 cm away from the primary tumor but not beyond the draining regional lymph nodes. IT metastases treatment is challenging, owing to a wide range of clinical presentations, and the overall prognosis is quite poor (the 5-year survival ranges between 20 and 60%), since their appearance preludes systemic involvementFile in questo prodotto:
